After Indemnity Lands.

Special to the Globe.
FERGUS FALLS, Minn., Dec. Not
withStanding recent order from Wash
ingtOn cOuntermanding previous order
opening up indemnity lands for settle
ment in this district, the land office had
quite boom in business to-day. Seven
ty-five applications have been made for
pieces of land, and d number are yet to
be filed. About $500 acres were filed
upon to-day. The present state
of affairs is such that those
who have taken possession of
land, put UP shaLties, etc. with the
intention of filing are obliged to ap-
pear before the land officers, i'll case
they do not wish to remain upon the
land, and still hold their interest in it.
Their applications are put in rejected"
by the local land officers and an appeal
taken to the general land office. Those
living on the lands do not have to ap-
pear until the case between the railroad
and government is settled. Nearly all
the lands affected are indemnity lands
of the Northern Pacific which overlap
the Manitoba's grant, and lie in Doug
lass county. All the persons were from
that county to-day.

ence, except in cases where husband
and wife were parties to cause, evaded

Mr.. Stacey was Reid's legal custodian,
and this correspondence should be
confidential. Capt. Hart said the pri-
mary evidence was the letter itself, the
copy was only secondary; but even if
the original were in court it would be
excluded by the statute. Mr.. Mum ar
gued that the prisoner had voluntarily
given the information to the witness.
The court said he would admit the let
ter. Then Mr.. O'Brien asked the wit
ness if the copy had been submitted to
him for the purpose of refreshing his
memory. Witness replied in the affirm
ative. MIR. Munn'S letter to the witness
relative to the letter of Reid was pro-
duced, and the court and counsel for
the defense read it. Mr.. Mum wanted
his written request to be read to the
jury, but the court would not allow 1t.
Then Capt. Hart asked the witness If
he could separate the things he remem-
bered from reading the original letter
at first and the additional matter he re-
membered after his memory had been
refreshed by the copy. Chief Stacey
said he couldn't, so, as he had put his
foot in it too deep to get out, the court
excluded him, and thus ReldS letter
was barred out for the time being. Lit
was an interesting fight and great vic
tory for the defense over both court and
prosecution.
In the face of great many objections
from Mr.. O'Brien, Lieut.. COOls testified
to going to the Winslow house and ask
ing Reid why he had registered as John
Worth, Lexington, KY. Reid had told
him that he must have been drunk"
Mr.. Mum tried to work in the WinSlow
house register as evidence Ito prove
what will follow" but as Capt. Hart
wanted "what would follow to come
first" the court
BARRED THE BOOK.
Dr. Brinley was recalled and testified
that Miss COmpstOn and her brOther-in-
law had come to his office Monday
morning and made complaint to him.
The Judge then adjourned the court
until this morning. The defense will,
it is thought, be that it is a case of con-
spiracy and blackmail. Hal Reid will
be put upon the stand to-day. Nobody
but attorneys and jurors will be ad-
mitted to the court.

PRINTERS VICTORIOUs.
Collapse of Prosecution Under
the Conspiracy Law.

CHICAGO. Dec. 1.-The first attempted
prosecution under the recently enacted
Illinois statute known as the Merritt
conspiracy law, collapsed to-day. Two
striking job printers were charged with
combining with other members of the
Typographical union to injure the busi-
ness of Poole Brothers, one of the firms
composing the Typothete, an organiza-
ton of employing printers. The offense
of defendants lay in joining the con-
certed abandonment of work and taking
part in the usual tactics to prevent
others taking the vacated places. When
the prosecution rested their case this
afternoon the defense submitted it to
the court without defense or argument.
Another attorney for the prosecution
then denounced the union men as hav-
ing conspired to injure the complain
ants, whereupon the attorney for the
defense, Alexander Sullivan, stated if
that were the case there were two sets
of conspirators, the Typographical
union and the Typothete. The court
discharged the strikers.

Serious Charges Against PrOhi-

Special to the Globe.
DEs MONIES, To-. Dec. LIVER since
the searching of saloons first began in
Des Moines eighteen months ago, ru-
mors have been current to the effect
that number of dealers were granted
immunity from seizure of liquors be-
cause of liberal weekly contributions to
the constables. Tne fact that several
saloon men were permitted to sell for
months in violation of the law without
being once caught by the searchers.

hribery and has imnressed manv people

bribery and has impressed many people
with the conviction that money had
been cOrruptly used. Several of the
parties thus granted immunity have told
on the quiet, of having paid money to
Pierce and Potts. one of them relating
that it cost him an even 50 per week for
immunity from seizure. This was said
under circumstances that at least i'm
piled that these men did not care to
have the transactions made public as
was alleged for two reasons, first, they
could afford to pay that amount and
live. And second, should it become
known, they would become liable to
prosecution for bribing an officer. These
examinations have been iterated and re-
peated so often and are supported by
such plausible evidence. that County
Attorney Philips carried the matter
before the grand jury Tuesday, and re-
queSted that
1T BE INVESTIGATED
by that body. The jury manifested
some reluctance in taking aggressive
action and finally after wrestling with
it for few hours, resolved to present
themselves before Judge Given and ask
for instructions. The county attorney
had, in anticipation of this move, en-
lightened the court and suggested the
adviSability of having the charges es-
tablished and the offenders punished,
or on the other hand, disprove them and
vindicate the accused officers. The
grand jury accordingly appeared
before Judge Given this MORN
ing and asked for advice in the prem
ises. After hearing the foreman's
explanation, Judge Given issued en-
phatic instructions for thorough in
ffN
give the charges their earliest attention,
and if after careful examination it
should be shown that any of the ac-
cuSed cOnStableS have been guilty of
accepting bribes, TO return indictments
against them and vigorous prOsecu-
ton would be inStigated. The grand
jury then retired and entered at once
upon its work by sending for numerous
witnesses. 1t is understood that I'M
munity from the legal consequences of
bribery will be given the witnesses who
testify in order to remove their fear of
being held equally cupable with the
bribed officials.
THE STATE TEMPERANCE ALLIANCE
held a secret session here to-day for the
purpose of mapping out the additional
prOhibit0ry legislation that it is pro-
posed to obtain this winter. Several
members when approached as to the
object of their meeting admitted this to
be true, but failed to impart the result
of their conclusion. Elder TOdhunter,
who, as his name suggests, is a leading
prohibition light, said they were going
to have some additional laws, beside
which the present statutes are pleasant
and gentle, and that in due time the
public would find out all about them.
Some of the visitors were in conference
with Gov. Larrabee, but came out of the
executive Office with anything but
hopeful countenances. 1t is understood
that the governor will appoint a state
cOnstabuiary. which is evidently what
the ProhibitiOnistS want to have.

Curious insane Case.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Dec. Nathan
B. Mundy, heir to $4,000, was recently
sent by relatives to the Middletown in
sane asylum. Argument was had be-
fore Judge Bartlett to-day on an ap-
plication for his release as sane. The
Judge ruled that the asylum authorities
were justified in holding Mundy ON
certificate of his insanity.
The question of his mental condition,
however, must be tried before jury.
Mundy must remain in custody till the
trial. He was about to be married to a
young lady on Staten Island. The
wedding will have to be postponed.

Rev. j. w. Bagley, pastor of the Taber-

them. The ceremony was commenced,
the man giving his name as Joseph S.
Ellen, of OverbroOk, Montgomery
county, Pa, and the would-be bride that
of Emma Pye, of the same place. The
minister's suspicious were aroused by
the fact that the woman kept her face
yelled. He finally tore off the veil and
found the woman to be negress, and a
very black one at that. Mr.. Bagley was
indignant, and ordered them from the
house.

expected that the next move will be to

great gain to the pool.

The chamber of deputies adjourned this
evening without taking any action, ana
it is quite probable that nothing will be
done until Monday, in order to allay
public feeling. The excitement about
the palace of the Elysee and the cham
Der of deputies was intense early this
afternoon, and increased almost to viO-
lence towards evening. The mob at the
Elysee made no disturbance other than
crying wildly and continuously, RE
sign! resign!'' The entranc of the pal
ace was
GUARDED BY TROOPS.
The cavalry were forced to charge upon
the crowd at the chamber of deputies
this afternoon and diSperSe them. The
adjOurning of the deputies this after
noon until 6 o'clock resulted from con-
ference of the four Republican groups,
who unanimously adopted as an order
OF the day that the chamber, awaiting
the communication promised from the
president, adjourn until 6. When the
deputies resumed their sitting at 4
O'Clock, the hour appointed at the first
adjournment, the order was acclaimed
by both the Left and Center and was
carried by a vote of 531 against 8.
Premier Rouvier returned to the Elysee
and informed President Grevy of the
vote. 1t is reported that when NJ.
Grevy heard that the deputies had sus-
pended the sitting in order to receive
the message to-day, he replied that his
ministry, having resigned, they could
not be charged with any communication
to the chamber. Some of the deputies
were III favor of impeaching NJ. Grevy
if his resignation was not announced at
the resumption of the sitting. NJ Rou-
vier has freely expressed the opinion
that the president will only resign upon
strong pressure, or
A HOSTILE MANIFESTATION
being made against him by the cham
Der of deputies. When the members
resumed the sitting at 80, NJ. Rouvier
ascended the tribune and announced
that he had communicated the vote of
the chamber to the president, who, on
account of the deputies action, had
modified his resolution not to send a
message; that he had never intended to
enter upon any conflict with parlia-
